Now, what should you look for in a good acne cleanser?
> Salicylic Acid
Salicylic acid in acne face washes helps reduce inflammation and is also great for skin prone to blackheads and whiteheads.
> AHA (Alpha hydroxy Acid)
AHA helps unclog pores and also exfoliates the skin. It removes the dead skin cells, and excess sebum as well. AHA also helps discoloration and promotes collagen production.
> Adapalene
Adapalene helps with clogged pores and also prevents breakouts. It is a type of retinoid that defends the skin with redness and swelling.
